Method
- Heat 1 tbsp of the oil, in a large frying pan, add the pine nuts and cook over a low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring or until pale golden. Remove from the heat, stir in the garlic and cool slightly.
- In a bowl, mix the horseradish, Stilton, breadcrumbs together with the pine nuts and garlic. Season with plenty of ground black pepper.
- Wipe out the frying pan, then heat until very hot, add 1 tbsp oil. Add the beef fillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning until browned all over. Leave to cool.
- Preheat the oven to Gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
- Spread the horseradish mixture all over the beef fillet.
- Unroll the pastry; roll out on a lightly floured surface to a 35x25.5cm/14x10in rectangle. Place the beef in the centre. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg, fold pastry around the beef and trim off the excess.
- Pinch edges to seal. Place seam side down on a baking sheet. Cut pastry trimmings into leaf shapes; arrange on top. Brush with egg.
- Bake for 40 minutes for medium-done beef. For well-done meat, cover with foil; cook for a further 10-15minutes.
- Transfer to a platter; garnish with parsley and serve with green vegetables.
